Abstract
This study was aimed to synthesize novel 2-(2-bromophenyl)-N-phenethylacetamides and benzylisoquinoline (BIQ) derivatives to be evaluated as antidepressant-like agents in mice. The phenethylacetamides derivatives were synthesized by coupling aromatic amides to the backbone of 2-bromophenylacetyl chloride. The synthesis of BIQ was achieved by the reaction between synthesized phenethylacetamides and 2-chloropyridine. The structures of compounds were established mainly by 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Those compounds obtained with moderate to good yields were evaluated as antidepressant-like agents in the forced swim test and the open field paradigms in mice. The possible mechanism of those active derivatives was explored by antagonist experiments in combination with p-chloro-phenylalanine methyl ester, reserpine, sulpiride, and dopamine D1 antagonist SCH23390. Also, MAO A and B inhibition assays were performed. Docking studies between the human dopamine D3 receptor and the higher active compound were performed. The results showed that the (2-bromophenyl)-(3,4-dihydroisoquinoline-1-yl)methanone (4a) presented the most potent antidepressant-like effects without modifying the ambulatory activity of experimental mice. Antagonist experiments showed that 4a acted on the serotonergic and dopaminergic receptors. Docking studies indicated a strong affinity between the human dopamine D3 receptor and 4a. Our results showed that BIQ 4a has an antidepressant-like effect that is possibly mediated by an interaction with the presynaptic serotonin receptors and dopaminergic, D1, D2, and D3, receptors. This study highlights the pharmacological potential of halogenated BIQs in the treatment of some depressive disorders.

Abstract
Three polyhydroxy-2-phenylnaphthalenes (1-3) and the oxy analogue of tetrahydroxypavinan (4) were prepared and evaluated for their antioxidant properties (inhibition of diphenylpycrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH), reduction of iron (III) ion) and inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) activity. Their three-dimensional structures were established on the basis of spectroscopic data and semiempirical calculations. Compounds 1 and 2 were found as potent 5-LO inhibitors as nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), whereas 4 is 2.5 times less potent than NDGA. The reliability of the 3-D structures with the 5-LO inhibition properties is discussed. Their antioxidant properties show that tested compounds are expected to act as redox inhibitors.

Abstract
1. We report for the first time on the production and characterization of antibodies against a naturally occurring tetrahydroisoquinoline, namely salsolidine (6,7-dimethoxy-1-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline). 2. Immunogen synthesis was carried out by coupling the hapten salsolidine to bovine serum albumin (BSA) as carrier protein on the basis of reductive amination. 3. By immunization of rabbits with salsolidine-BSA conjugate antisalsolidine antibodies were produced. 4. At a final dilution of 1:1700 the highest-titre antiserum bound 35% of 0.21 pmol [3H]salsolidine. This antiserum was used to develop a radioimmunoassay for salsolidine. 5. Cross-reactivity studies revealed a high specificity of the antiserum to the hapten. 6. The antibodies had a high affinity to salsolidine (Ka = 1.5 x 10(9) M-1). 7. Standard curves covered a measuring range of 0.5-70 pmol/tube and the detection limit was found to be 0.27 pmol/tube.

Abstract
Experimental results and theoretical considerations on the biology of alcoholism are devoted to the following topics: genetically determined differences in metabolic tolerance; participation of the alternative alcohol metabolizing systems in chronic alcohol intake; genetically determined differences in functional tolerance of the CNS to the hypnotic effect of alcohol; cross tolerance between alcohol and centrally active drugs; dissociation of tolerance and cross tolerance from physical dependence; permanent effect of uncontrolled drinking behavior induced by alkaloid metabolites in the CNS; genetically determined alterations in the function of opiate receptors; and genetic predisposition to addiction due to innate endorphin deficiency. For the purpose of introducing the most important research teams and their main work, statements from selected publications of individual groups have been classified as to subject matter and summarized. Although the number for summary-quotations had to be restricted, the criterion for selection was the relevance to the etiology of alcoholism rather than consequences of alcohol drinking.

Abstract
Enzymatic O-methylation is a primary pathway for the metabolism of catecholamines in mammals and of isoquinoline alkaloids in plants. This report describes the differential O-methylation patterns of the racemates and enantiomers of two catecholamine-derived alkaloids, tetrahydropapaveroline (THP) and 2,3,10,11-tetrahydroxyberbine (THB), in the brain of the rat. One hour after intracerebroventricular administration of a specific isomeric form of each alkaloid, the O-methylated metabolites were isolated from the rat brain and subsequently quantified using high performance liquid chromatography. The isomeric form of THP or THB which was administered markedly influenced the pattern of O-methylation. The racemate and R-(+)-enantiomer of THP were mono-O-methylated predominantly at the 7 and 3' positions, while the S-(-)-enantiomer of THP was mono-O-methylated to an essentially equal degree at the 6, 7 and 3' positions. Minimal mono-O-methylation at the 4' position was detectable only with the racemate and (-)-enantiomer of THP. The racemate and enantiomers of THB were mono-O-methylated predominantly at the 2 and 11 positions and to a lesser extent at the 3 and 10 positions. Although minimal with the R-(+)-enantiomer, the 3 and the 10-O-methylation pathways were enhanced significantly with the S-(-)-enantiomer of THB. These results demonstrate that both enantiomers of THP and THB are O-methylated in vivo in rat brain and that the chiral centers of these alkaloids influence the position of O-methylation, thereby dictating the relative amounts of specific products formed.

Abstract
Catecholamine-derived alkaloids of the simple tetrahydroisoquinoline, 1-benzyl-tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydroprotoberberine classes have been tested for their ability to inhibit the binding of seven different radioligands to neurotransmitter receptors of brain synaptic membranes. Alkaloids of all three classes were active in inhibiting 3H-clonidine binding to alpha 2-adrenergic receptors. Stereoselectivity of tetrahydropapaveroline in binding to alpha 2-adrenergic receptors was evidenced by the marked activity of the S-(--) isomer (IC50 = 0.65 microM) in comparison to the R-(+) enantiomer (IC50 = 50 microM). The simple tetrahydroisoquinolines (3,4-dihydroxytetrahydroisoquinoline and salsolinol), the four isomeric mono-O-methyl derivatives of 2,3,10,11-tetrahydroxyberbine and tetrahydropapaveroline were the most potent inhibitors of 3H-apomorphine binding to dopaminergic receptor agonist sites. The tetrahydroprotoberberines, as a class, were the most potent inhibitors of 3H-spiroperidol binding to dopaminergic receptor antagonist sites and of 3H-WB-4101 binding to alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. The 1-benzyl-tetrahydroisoquinolines exhibited varying degrees of interaction with beta 1-adrenergic receptors. Tetrahydropapaveroline (IC50 = 0.3 microM) was the most active of the 24 alkaloids tested in inhibiting binding of 3H-dihydroalprenolol to beta 1-adrenergic receptors. None of the alkaloids significantly affected 3H-QNB binding to muscarinic-cholinergic receptors, and selected alkaloids from each class interacted only moderately with serotonergic receptors.

Abstract
There is now substantial evidence that several TIQs and beta-carbolines are present in vivo and increase during certain pathological conditions. It still remains to be determined, however, precisely what roles they play in endogenous functions and whether or not they are critical for the expression of these pathological conditions. Accumulating biochemical information continues to support the notion that these compounds can act as false transmitters. The exciting new findings, which will certainly receive a great deal more attention, concern the interaction of some of the beta-carbolines with the benzodiazepine receptor. Determining if a beta-carboline is an endogenous receptor ligand will attract further research interest on the theoretical and specifically clinically-directed levels. Biochemical, morphological, and behavioral data indicate that some of the condensation products can act as neurotoxins. Very few experiments have included an examination of long-term effects of exposure to one of these alkaloids, so the amount of information on this issue is limited. Chronic rather than acute administration of an alkaloid is more likely to mimic the pathological states in which these compounds are hypothesized to play a role. Biochemically, both the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems have been shown to be affected by chronic treatments with certain alkaloids. Progressive and long-term behavioral alterations also have been reported. Such changes may reflect an adaptation to an increase or decrease in activity of particular systems or a neurotoxic action.
